2006 Kia Optima Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Sedan 161-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Spacious enough to allow my 84 year old mother to get in and out without injuring herself! see full Kia Optima review
2007 4dr Sedan 161-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 After driving the Optima for five days straight for 10+ hours per day, other than the occasional stop, on a road trip, not one time did I get a sore back or thighs. see full Kia Optima review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Nissan Pathfinder

2006 Nissan Pathfinder Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Rear seat is cramped. I would gladly give up the third row seat, for more room for the rear (2nd row) seats. see full Nissan Pathfinder review
2006 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic RWD		 Rear seating is small for long hauls, and seats WAY too hard see full Nissan Pathfinder review
